Asking why a conviction based on the requirement of drag racing and doing two other stupid things is not doing anything to reduce drag racing alone is a lot like asking why higher fines for speeding while drunk is not doing anything to reduce speeding alone.
You’re right. I was being a bit facetious. You know me Barry. I wish it would have an effect. There’s a death penalty but people still kill other people. Perhaps just talking about it and debating the issues will help. Calling attention to the conviction might create some pause in an otherwise pre-disposed individual. I wish.
There is nothing wrong in generating a conversation, who knows it might might draw more people to this site, which would be a could thing.
It’s sad that people are opposing high fines for outrageous actions and they oppose small automated fines for “less serious” actions. There is opposition for directing police officers to traffic patrol when there are more “serious” crimes to be dealt with. MVA opposes doing a more standard 100 question test in order to get a Drivers Licence and the current 20 question test is “necessary” to have a quick turn around time at the MVA office.
So where do we start to improve traffic safety?
The problem is in every area people are saying do not make changes here, it would be better there… and around and around it goes.
